L1A and L1B Visa Plans

Attorney-Approved Business Plans for Successful L1 Applications

The L1 visa enables multinational companies to transfer executives, managers, and specialized knowledge employees from foreign offices to U.S. operations. With 24.48% of L1A petitions and 25.51% of L1B petitions receiving RFEs in Q1 FY 2025, having a comprehensive, USCIS-compliant business plan is crucial for avoiding delays and maximizing approval chances.

Our professional L1 visa business plans are specifically designed to meet USCIS requirements while demonstrating your company's viability, qualifying relationship, and ability to support executive or specialized knowledge positions in the United States.

The Current L1 Landscape

• Recent USCIS data reveals significant scrutiny of L1 applications:
• L1A Applications: 24.48% RFE rate with 72.2% eventual approval rate
• L1B Applications: 25.51% RFE rate with 74.61% eventual approval rate
• Overall Denial Rate: 7.75% for completed cases

Common RFE Triggers for L1 Visas

• Qualifying Relationship Issues - Failure to establish clear parent-subsidiary, affiliate, or branch relationships between foreign and U.S. entities
• Insufficient Managerial/Executive Evidence - Lack of detailed job descriptions demonstrating true managerial or executive capacity
• Specialized Knowledge Deficiencies - Inadequate proof that L1B beneficiaries possess knowledge that is "distinct or uncommon" in the industry
• New Office Documentation Gaps - Missing evidence of secured premises, business viability, or growth projections for new U.S. offices
• Financial Viability Concerns - Insufficient proof that the U.S. entity can support the proposed position and business operations
